About this network

PHNET-AS-AP, the network of the Philippine Network Foundation, Inc. (PHNet), the Philippines' academic and research networking organisation.

What it's used for

• Connecting Philippine universities, research institutions, and government research bodies to each other and to the wider internet.
• Acting as a national research and education network (NREN): shared transit, peering, and interconnection for the member institutions rather than consumer service.

Notable

• Research and education address space (roughly 30,720 IPv4 addresses). The end users are campuses, not households.
• PHNet grew out of the effort that first put the Philippines on the internet, centred on the country's universities.

Interesting

• Like other NRENs holding low AS numbers, PHNet predates the commercial ISP market in its country: the academic network arrived first and the consumer providers followed.
